I am trying to find a SATA RAID controller that will boot in a UEFI BIOS motherboard. Using an ADAPTEC 6405 I lose the option of booting from it the minute I turn on the UEFI BIOS. When it's set to Legacy, I can boot from it, but what I want to do is use the MB UEFI RAID and a boot card with RAID 10, but haven't found a way yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Building a PC from spare parts. The PC's BIOS menu is basically unusable due to constant artifacting and black screens. The MB reports a GPU error via the VGA light on the MB When I boot into Windows 10 there are no errors. No black screens or artifacts at all. Running GPU stress tests in OCCT has not reproduced the issue either. Only during startup/BIOS BIOS is updated to the latest version, and this issue occurred before and after the BIOS update Build https://pcpartpicker.com/user/NaClKnight/saved/M6YHWZ CPU: Ryzen 2600 MB: Gigabyte B450 Aorus Elite GPU: AMD R9 Fury X PSU: EVGA BQ 700 This PC ran smoothly for months until yesterday, and I have not installed or removed any components recently. Furthermore, HWInfo reports that the GPU and VRAM are both idling at 30C after booting. My only inkling that something is wrong with the GPU came during a stress test where the VRAM reported temps 20C higher than the GPU core after only 3 minutes. I've never disassembled this GPU but maybe it's time to do so, and reapply thermal paste/pads?

I just built a new computer recently, everything is working fine, I can play RDR2 smoothly, but when I reboot and try to access the UEFI, it freezes. What could be causing this, and what can I do to solve it? I already tried cleaning the CMOS but nothing changed. Specs: RTX 2060 Ryzen 5 4500 a520 - a pro 250GB SSD

So I went to reinstall windows on my Z13 (which I've done several times with no issues), however it gets to the final point on the installer and fails with the error: 'Windows could not update the computer's boot configuration. Installation cannot proceed' I've tried: multiple ISOs multiple USB drives Resetting BIOS to defaults using EZFlash to reflash the BIOS Enabling Secure boot Disabling Secure boot Wiping the SSD Swapping out the SSD Enabling VMD (and installing driver) Disabling VMD I also have a Manjaro ISO that I tried which installs and boots up with no issues.... I'm honestly lost. No configuration changes were made between it working just fine and failing to install... I'm not any less lost but for some reason Windows Server 2022 installs with no issues as well... New discovery: any windows version 21H2 and earlier seems to work... very weird indeed. -
Probably not but I will wait ubtil someone gives an awnser.

So I have never updated the bios so it has the really old version it shipped with. The problem is there is no option to do it in my bios. Under tools it just shows driver update, and that doesn't work anyway, so I went and got 3.4 and 5.2 from the website(with the manual on my lap so it is the right bios for the right board). I put it on a fat32 formated usb drive and booted into the bios, but there is no UEFI update utility in my tools tab. I have reset the bios to the default but don't know what else to try. The option I saw them click in the youtube guide just isn't there in mine. Very strange. I think that is all the information. Can anyone help?

Hello wonderful ltt forum! I came today around, to ask you guys for some good combinations of voltages and clocks on my cpu. Pc config. : CPU: Ryzen 7 2700 GPU: Nvidia RTX 3060 ti RAM: 8x2 GB, 3000 MHz (crosair vengeance) Motherboard: Asus B450-plus w/ uefi Bios (ver. 1804) Storage: 1 ssd m.2 250gb, 1 ssd data 500gb, 1 hdd 2tb; I have a new thermalpaste comming, is the thermal grizzly kryonaut, and I want to make a spring clean on my pc, excluding windows. For now I managed to clock my cpu from 3.4-3.2 GHz (it was a prebuild ant it was capped at 3.4 GHz) at 3.9 and around 1.375 v, I haven't done anything else to voltages or clocks, I just managed to make a stress test at that of 1 min which the max power was 120w with constant 60c° I had a previous attempt at 4 GHz with 1.3v ant it failed miserably. So I closed the pc from button (ik it isn't ok) entered bios and lowered the clocks and increased the voltage, stress tested 1 min and it worked out fantastic. If I haven't mentioned, I have an Artic Esprtos duo 34 cooler which has a rated w cooling of 200 Ish W, the only real problem would be the power supply but il let that to you.

Recently I rebuilt my system to swap my motherboard and upgrade my CPU. (MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI and I7-12700K) The system POSTs fine, I have good thermals, and everything is detected, but no matter what I do, my original boot drive (XPG SX8200 M.2) will NOT show up as an option in the boot order. I've noticed my boot mode is greyed out, and locked into UEFI. I think that's the issue, but no matter what I try I absolutely cannot get it to change. I even turned off secure boot, but that didn't unlock the option... I'd really prefer to just be able to boot into my M.2, is there a way through this? (I know in theory I could just make another UEFI-friendly Windows install on a different drive, but I have data on all of my drives :/) OS: Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (I would tell you the version, but I can't check it right now for obvious reasons) CPU: I7-12700K (Base clock) RAM: 4x8 DDR4 LPX Vengance 3200mhz GPU: Gigabyte AORUS Elite RTX 3060 Mobo: MSI PRO Z790-P WIFI Storage: ADATA XPG SX8200 PRO M.2 1TB SK Hynix Gold S31 SSD 500GB Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM HDD 2TB BIOS:E7E06IMS.110 (09/01/2022)

Ok this seems nuts but I have my reasons. I would like to quad boot from my laptop so I can run win server 16, win 10, win 7 32bit and ubuntu. So far I got my server installation done minus a couple Bluetooth drivers and created a win 10 vhdx that shows up as a boot option and works. Issue is win 7 32 bit on a uefi setup. That vhdx won't boot. Enable legacy option ROMs makes it show on the boot menu though. Win 7 32 bit is on a mbr vhdx everything else is gpt. So I'm posting here because I think grub 2 can help. From what I've read I can maybe boot win 7 and ubuntu from grub and chainload over to server and 10. This is a really unfamiliar territory for me so I'm looking for advice. I also don't know how to create a bootable Ubuntu vhdx from my server 16. Any and all help will be appreciated. -

After facing yet another problem and having to RMA my 1080 Ti, I can no longer access BIOS at all. Monitor displays "No signal" before Windows loads up. Tried disabling hibernate / fast boot, resetting CMOS and other cables / connectors on both the monitor and GPU. Hitting F2/DEL during boot clearly loads BIOS but again there's no signal. Also tried running a single DIMM only. Any work around tips for this? -
Hi, I'm having a weird issue with overclocking my cpu and memory. I've been trying to overclock my cpu in bios but after I hit save and reboot, pc won't post and cycle 2-3 times and then just boot up with default settings, the thing is I'm not dialing in some crazy overclock it does this even when I try like 3.3Ghz, or If I load Xmp profile for my ram, I've tried overclocking in ryzen master software and I've been able to hit 3.8ghz at 1.3625V without any crashing, the only thing is you have to load up ryzen master software every time you start your pc. I've tried updating the bios but that didn't help either. I will be thankful for any suggestions.

Hello friends, I just bought a new PC and i am trying to install windows. But that is where the trouble starts. 1) I try to install windows with the windows media creation tool but it keeps on failing in the verification. Then it worked all of the sudden, but it gave a big orange screen with the gtx970. I swapped it out for a radeon 7850 and then it actually showed the windows screen. However, it still didn't work (it didnt load beyond the windows logo). 2) I used Rufus to install the same windows version to the USB stick (selection the latest windows version, GPT, UEFI (non-csm) all that stuff. 3) It didn't work straight away so i updated the bios from version F2 to F11d (the latest, no problems. Probably because of the Ryzen 5800x) 4) The USB launched, but the M.2 was not GPT. So I changed the disk from MBR to GPT with diskpart 5) The USB went all the way to selecting the disk and installing. The installation went really quick (like it didnt happen ?) 6) When rebooting because installation was complete, it gave the screen with 'select proper boot drive or insert boot media in selected boot device and press a key'. At this point, I'm clueless.. Because when i re-ran the windows USB, it said the free disk space decreased with 10GB - my windows installation!... So I went in the BIOS to change some things in hopes to get to the windows boot. I tried multiple settings: 1) I tried CSM disabled, disable secure boot. No effect. 2) I tried CSM enabled, UEFI-only on all settings. No effect. 3) I tried switching the second hand gtx970 for a radeon 7850 as mentioned. The GTX shows an orange screen like it doesn't work.. The 7850 maybe does not support UEFI; i wouldnt know since its so long ago since i bought it. I haven't tried the 970 since i think it will give me an orange screen again I have the feeling i'm overlooking something! everything is detecting just fine in the BIOS and all fans are spinning etc etc. I tried to read other solutions on the internet but nobody seems to have the solution that solves my problem.. Please help me out since i'm desperate to use the new PC :(((( Also, let me know if you have the same problem!..

Hello everyone, I finished building a PC and everytime i install the graphics card (gtx 960 4gb) motherboard gives 1 long beep followed by 3 short beeps. When I remove the card and connect directly to the motherboard's vga i get display so now i tried changing settings in bios (uefi) like disable fastboot, disable/enable csm, disable secure boot, but the only thing changing is that no error beeps anymore, monitor is getting some sort of signal from card but showing "no signal". Without graphics card and using only the VGA from the motherboard, I'm getting display and everything is fine. I tried the graphics card in another pc and worked smoothly, so I'm sure it's the motherboard's bios. Also before I updated the bios in attempt to solve the problem i used to get the error "vga card not supported by uefi driver" after update of bios I'm getting nothing at all. My specs : i7 3770k 32gb ram Asus p8b75-v Gtx 960 windforce 4gb ver 1.1 650w PSU Can any one help? , also i f*ckin hate ASUS!!!! Thank you!

Each day I am finding out new stuff with my PC, and today that would be Legacy and UEFI. In my motherboard settings I noticed that I had the option for Legacy or UEFI, that was set to legacy. Now should I make a switch to UEFI (I think it is has quicker boot speeds?), and if I do make that change will that wipe my PC of all data?

So I have created a live USB with Ubuntu 19.10, it runs fine and no problem. To get it to boot on my laptop I need to disable UEFI Boot, when I do and select my USB to boot, it boots into ubuntu. But when I select the drive with windows(10) installed on it, it doesn't find the bootable windows. And I instead get this screen. (with the Ubuntu USB removed or else it boots straight into Ubuntu) If I re enable UEFI Boot in the bios then it boots into windows fine but can't find the USB as a bootable option. I can switch between the two but it is a pain, if there is a way I can have both or anyone has advice it'd be greatly appreciated.

Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 5 Quad Core - (8 GB/1 TB HDD/Windows 10 Home/4 GB Graphics/NVIDIA Geforce GTX 1650) AN515-43-R3JU Gaming Laptop (15.6 inch, Obsidian Black, 2.3 kg) I want to install Windows 10 Pro but in the BIOS it don't show the USB drive I am using. (USB drive can't be any better, works like a charm, nothing wrong with it) I tried Settings -> Update and Security -> Recovery -> Advance Startup but it said something that USB needs to be enabled from BIOS. Also tried F12 boot menu but it won't show anything. Just note that F12 boot menu is disabled by default, i'm aware of that and enabled it. But in the Boot Menu it shows only the currently installed Windows Hard Disk. There is no legacy support just UEFI and I need to format my PC. It's a known issue in Acer devices and how can I reinstall it?

Hi, Since I installed a dedicated GPU I can not boot into uefi. Windows 10 works just fine. To be more accurate, I suspect, that I am in uefi but I get no video output. The keyboard and mouse do light up, fans spin. I realized this when I wanted to reset my CPU OC to standard because it was sometimes unstable. I did reset the CMOS by shorting the pins which was succesfull since the OC is gone, but still no video in the uefi. I also can not update the uefi since I do not see anything. But there are newer versions. I tried all 4 outputs of my video card. They all work with windows but not in the UEFI. Since I had no Displayport cable I used an adaptor. I aslo tried the HDMI and DVI inputs on the monitor. While still using the Vega 11 on my APU everything was fine. Specs: CPU - Ryzen 5 2400g GPU - Gigabyte RTX 2060 OC 6GB (OC is in the name.

So this all started when I decided I'm going to make the move on my primary desktop computer away from Windows over to Linux, I have been using Linux on all my over computers for a while now. Before I wipe my Windows install and be without a functional gaming PC, I decided that I would install onto a 2nd hard drive to verify that everything is working. And I'm glad I did that because things are going horribly wrong... At first, I was having trouble getting the installer flash drive for Linux Mint to boot in uefi mode without CSM, but then I forgot I had fastboot enabled. After disabling that, I was able to install to the 2nd hard drive and boot into Linux. However, after the first reboot from running some updates and installing the Nvidia graphics drivers, the system was getting to the Linux Mint splash boot screen then shuts off with no warning, and reboots. Right now, it does this most of the time when I reboot, but sometimes it doesn't happen. After a few tries of booting it would eventual boot up, and for the most part there aren't any issues after a successful boot, however occasionally I have logged in and clicked an icon on the desktop and had it abruptly shut down like it was doing at start-up. But here's the thing: I can boot windows off my SSD just fine, even running games and stress tests work fine. Because of this, I know its not overheating or having power supply issues, but this seems too random to be a software issue. I edited the GRUB settings to disable the splash screen so I can see what it's doing when it is starting up, and every time it "crashes" it's doing something different, I can't identify any pattern. The logs program in Linux Mint doesn't show any fatal errors that would cause a reboot. I'm not new to linux, but I have no idea what could be causing this or where to look to find out. Like I said before, I am using Linux Mint, which is an Ubuntu-based Distribution. I am currently trying other distributions on this machine as a troubleshooting step and will report my findings back here when I can. I also tried resetting my BIOS settings with no change, and may try a different drive even though this drive's SMART status is perfect. Here are my system specs if it helps: -Intel Core i5 6600k overclocked to 4.4GHz at 1.280v (I have done overnight prime95 runs on it with no issues, and running it stock didn't change anything) -EVGA GTX 1060 6g -Asus z170-e -4x4gb DDR4 2133mhz (tried with and without the XMP profile made no difference) -500gb WD blue M.2 SSD (the older model that is sata over M.2 instead of PCIe) for my Windows Drive. -Some random Toshiba 1tb 5400rpm from an external enclosure for testing Linux -A Renesas 4 port usb 3.0 card -

Hello everyone! I have a problem with an AsRock B450 Gaming K4. After installing Valorant and the computer restarted, the board won't find any internal drives. I've both reset the BIOS by removing the battery and also updated the BIOS. It still couldn't find any drives. After letting it be over night, it turned on like nothing had happened! YAY! NO! Valorant still complained about needing a restart because the Anti-Cheat wasn't active, although I have a pretty old driver and it said this could be a cause too. After updating the GPU driver and restarting again, I have the same problem again, no internal drives can be found and it just boots straight to the BIOS. After a few hours today, it could boot again, YAY! But NO! as another restart couldn't boot again (no internal drives found). Booting into a Linux distro I can't see the drives either (obviously, but I tried). This looks like an irregular problem, which can be hard to diagnose. I really can't think of anything else to do, except buying a new board. That is, unless anyone here has any input/help for the problem.

I want to buy 1050Ti. I have a GIGABYTE H61M-S motherboard. It has a PCI-E 3.0 x16 slot. But my question is will 1050Ti work on my motherboard. It has legacy BIOS. Some peoples are saying that the latest NVIDIA GPUs don't work on old legacy BIOS. It requires a UEFI BIOS. And some are complaining that they are not having any display on their motherboard but having display on there friend's motherboard. I am worried about the negative comments about it. I really liked the 1050Ti and want to have it. Please help.
